Why unpaid internships put some students at a disadvantage - Annika Hopkins, Biz Women
Getting accepted into college is a feat unto itself, so it’s easy for college freshmen to feel at ease going into their first year. They may forget to think about how they will spend their time outside of the classroom for the next four years because of their focus on their academic studies. But the funny thing is, that academic focus may just come back to haunt you: Professional recruiters and hiring companies are no longer just looking for candidates with impressive GPAs and degree titles. Today, it’s all about the experience and outside of the classroom skills that an applicant brings to the table.

How institutions are leaving money on the table with their alternative credential offerings - Alcino Donadel, University Business
Alternative non-degree credentials are slowly becoming higher education’s hottest learning modality. Enrollment is strong and employer buy-in is promising. However, two reports from UPCEA demonstrate that despite institutions’ increased infrastructure to provide these academic programs, challenges persist—and they’re leaving money on the table as a result. In a December 2023 report that studied nearly 100 UPCEA members representing institutions focused on online and continuing education, 94% said their institution offers alternative credentials, and 66% said senior leadership has become fundamental to their institutions’ strategic plans. These schools’ most common alternative credentials were non-credit certificates, professional certificates and digital badges.
